The Location Bar, the Search Bar and some form fields on web pages have autocomplete dropdowns that appear with a list of previously entered data. To remove them, you will need to edit your config files.

Note that this is not a clean solution, it will cause some errors appear in JavaScript Console and may cause the browser to malfunction.

In userChrome.css, add the following lines:

/* Remove autocomplete dropdown */
#PopupAutoComplete > .autocomplete-tree { display: none !important; }

If you also want to remove the dropdown button at the far right of the Location Bar, add the following line:

.autocomplete-history-dropmarker { display: none !important; }

You may want to enable inline autocomplete instead.
